But I think it 5e it's purely a mechanical title denoting which chart you progress on for: hit points, ability/feats, and attack bonus.  This is, at it's heart, most similar to 1e (and therefore likely 2e) I think.  I recall referring back to the fighter progression tables for the Ranger, for example.  It's the same sort of thing.  It's not like a 1e ranger "felt" like a fighter, just that they both fell under the same progression chart for ease of reference.</blockquote>
